Before starting any work, check the battery charge (Ref. to § 2.7) and recharge if necessary,
following the instructions in the battery charger user manual.
To
replace the battery, remove it by pressing the release button (10) (Ref. to Fig. 1), then insert the
new battery, sliding it into the guides until it locks.
2.1) Head rotation
For ease of operation, the tool head can rotate through 335°, allowing the operator to work in the
most comfortable position (Ref. to Fig. 3).
Do not attempt to rotate the head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
2.2) Setting
Insert the conductor between the blades, up to the desired cutting point (Ref. to Fig. 3).
For a running conductor, press the locking lever (1) and open the tool head (Ref. to Fig. 3a).
Fully retract the lower blade (3) before attempting to open the tool head (Ref. to § 2.6).
With the conductor on the lower blade (3), close the tool head and fully secure the lever (1).
Before commencing the cutting operation ensure that the lever (1) is fully secured: partial
closure may damage the tool head.
2.3) Blade advancement
Press the operating button (5) (Ref. to Fig. 3) to activate the motor-pump, the ram will gradually
move forward until the lower blade (3) touches the conductor.
To halt the advancement, release the button (5) and the motor will cut out.
Make sure the blade is exactly positioned on the desired cutting point otherwise re-open the
blade following instructions as per § 2.6 and reposition it.
2.4) Cutting
Firmly hold the tool and operate the button (5) to gradually move the lower blade (4) to cut
through the conductor.
When the cut is performed, release the button (5), otherwise the maximum pressure relief valve
has activated.
2.5) LED Worklights
Whilst the tool is in operation, the work area is illuminated by two high luminosity LED Worklights
that switch off automatically at the end of the cycle.
2.6) Blade retraction
By operating the pressure release button (6), the ram will retract and open the lower blade.
